Things have to be pretty depressing at the Brady Campaign these days. I can sympathize. We’re cracking out the tequila here too guys, though our closing party has more people at it than this presser :)

How is sending a film crew to a press conference a matter of “spying?” And considering the NRA News crew wore their NRA News shirts in the middle of the anti-NRA protest in Pittsburgh, I doubt they as secretive as Paul wants to claim. If he was that unaware of who they were, then it’s likely that his new communication chick he brought on from Ft. Wayne wasn’t competent enough to identify them.

I should add that going back to look at their claim of lies, it could easily be a matter of wording. There are independent cameramen, and there are also pool cameramen. Ever wonder how all networks get the exact same shot/angle of the same press conference? It’s because one cameraman is charged with getting video for everyone in the pool. If a reporter for Sirius/XM showed up and also happened to share their audio with Cam who hosts a show on the same network be considered a spy? Regardless, they had a press conference. They are just pissy that the only coverage came from NRA when they had their hopes up that CBS was going to do a big story. Of course, this also indicates that there was only one camera in the room. :)

The Brady Center thought that they could get away with their deception of a fake press conference because their supporters at CBS News would cover for them by not revealing to the public that Helmke was speaking to an empty room. Oops!
